Meet the Team

Michele Abbatemarco

Executive Pastry Chef
From the vibrant markets of Monferrato in Italy to the elite Michelin-starred kitchens of Europe and Japan, Executive Pastry Chef Michele Abbatemarco – Gault & Millau’s Best Pastry Chef 2024 – has been on a fascinating culinary journey ever since he was a child. While Abbatemarco’s foundation in pastry-making is decidedly European, the move to Japan changed his perspective, leading to a years-long process of studying local ingredients, understanding Japanese culture and reviewing his personal recipes.

“Tastes are like poems that speak to our palate. Just like with art, we can experience emotions with a dish. If that feeling becomes a lasting memory, then my work is completed.”
